Bloody idiot newsreader! 
mixed reports of either balcony collapse or roof
You on Sky Damesy?
It seems to be the roof by what they're saying on BBC

Eye witnesses there, from balcony say it was ceiling...whatever it was it sounds horrific....fingers crossed that there are no fatalities.

It seems peculiar that it has done that. How, I wonder? Were there any signs, like cracks and stuff

It is unimaginable! Could it be terrorism or sabotage or something?

I sort of asked something like that up there ^^^
Number of casualties, kids in there as well
The theatre next door is covered in scaffolding...it could be connected with that??
Sky being sensitive as ever, filming a man on a stretcher

BBC are as daft too. Someone was talking to newsreader but had to go. Newsreader asked if there was anyone else he could pass the phone over to

MrB has changed channels so i have no idea if they have said why the other theatre has the scaffolding...if it's structural or merely a repaint???

So you did Sprout 
it does seem peculiar, like you say.
Such a famous theatre should be well maintained and subject to regular inspections, no?

BBC are saying 5 seriously injured and taken to hospital. 40 walking wounded and being treated at theatre next door

Its one of the finest on Shaftesbury Ave imo. I've seen many a fine show there... Fascinating Aida and Bill Bailey amongst others. 
BBC are now saying 80 injured all together. 76 walking wounded and 4 came out on stretchers
